Circle over Pickering (Canada), ON · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Small round white ball shape hovering in the sky. It first appeared as a small white round ball. It seemed to be spinning, and at the same time, moving around in a small circle. I lost sight of it and then found it slightly lower than when i first saw it. It still appeared to be spinning and moving around in a small circle, but was now glowing red, then white and disappear. It continued this way for a least 10 minutes and then it disappeared and never saw it again. We were looking in the north east direction.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #113022). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

I was on my ribs inflatable dingy heading out of the Port of frenchmans Bay at around 930pm.While looking south over the lake I first saw an orange glow almost like a flare. Then 5 minutes later at about 20 NM distance I saw a similar light moving at a very high rate of speed heading to the west. It changed colors from white to green then blue and purple all very quickly all in a moment. This thing moved fast and upon looking at Google maps covered a distance of 5 or so NM all in an instant. Nothing know of moves that fast. The colors changed as it got faster and faster. Then it was gone. I did get a picture but it's unusable. Very strange definatly not an aircraft or flare but rather something strange.

I saw a bright light moving through the sky, which I thought was the International space station and it was traveling from a north east direction heading southwest. I continued to watch it for about 1 minute expecting the light to diminish as it travelled further southwest, however it stopped and remained stationary for approximately 1 minute and then just disappeared. The night sky was crystal clear. The path the light was travelling was between Venus to the west and the moon to the east when it stopped directly in the middle of both Venus and the moon.

Bright light changing from red to white in northeast daylight sky at 60 degrees. Day light sighting of an illuminating pulsing stationary light. At 12:25 pm dst in the clear northeast sky at a 60 degree angle of view witness a lighted object that was white then changed to red and back to white then red and disappeared, then reappeared and went through the same sequences. I observed this through binoculars with a power of 8x42 at 6.5 degree field. It seemed to disappear from the field of view. This may have been the shaking of myself and the binoculars but I am almost certain that it vanished It also seemed to be moving very slightly to the left in a rising manner. After ten minutes it got lost in some light clouds. I never regained the object. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sincere and serious-minded. His wife witnessed the object, as well. PD
